Technically, distilled water. Osmotic pressure will draw water across the cell wall from an area of low salt concentration to an area of high salt concentration. By definition, distilled water has (almost) zero dissolved salts, so water will flow into your veggies, keeping them nice and crisp.
Theoretically, at least. In reality, I doubt the difference in concentration of dissolved salts between distilled and tap water would make a noticable difference.
In order to keep vegetables "crisp", grocery stores use cool water or ice
Ice cubes are placed in a glass of water to cool the water the cooling effect to the ice in the water is due to heat being transferred in which of the following? (1) From the water to the ice by conduction (2) From ice to the water by radiation (3) From the water to the ice by radiation (4) From the ice to the water by conduction
Take To - 20°C In order to cool 1 ton of water at 20°C in an insulated tank, a person pours 64 kg of ice at -8°C into the water. Given the melting temperature and the heat of fusion of ice at atmospheric pressure are 0°C and 333.7 kJ/kg, respectively, determine (a) the final equilibrium temperature in the tank (Round to two decimal places) and (b) the exergy destroyed during this process. X destroyed kJ (Round to the nearest integer)...
If the ice in your cooler melted, what would keep your food colder, draining the water or keeping it in there?
In order to cool down a cup of hot coffee, you are choosing between two options: add a a 25g ice cube at 0 degrees C or add 25g of water at 0 degrees C. Which will result in lower final temperature of the drink?
What mass of ice would it take to lower the temperature of 0.5kg of water from 20°C to 0°C. 7. A 100-g piece of iron is heated to 100°C and then dropped into a cavity in a large block of ice at 0°C. How much mass of ice will melt? 8. 50 grams of hot water at 80°C is poured into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0°C. The final temperature of the water in the...
Prior to the advent of refrigeration, many different methods were used to keep food cool and prevent it from spoiling. One common method was to use clay pots. In this approach, two clay pots, an inner pot and an outer pot, were separated from each other with a thick layer of wet sand in between. The inner clay pot would cool if the atmosphere was dryallowing the food placed inside to stay cool. a. What was happening to allow the...

Fill the ice mold with tap water and put it in a freezer for 24 hours. Remove the mold from the freezer, loosen the ice but do not remove the ice and place the mold upside down in a thin paper plate and place the plate on a thick coffee table or dining table (see Figure 1). Wait for about 30 minutes, using the cell-phone or digital watch as a timer, and then measure the amount of water in the...

than other labs. These are toxicity, volatility, and flammability. We routinely use toxic organic solvents like methanol and acetone that are volatile (have low boiling points), but even solid organic materials can produce vapors that may be toxic. Furthermore, organic materials are flammable, and solvent vapors in the air can and do produce explosive mixtures. You should take some general precautions when doing organic chemistry: Do not get solutions on your skin. You do not need to always wear gloves...
